Inside Newport News

Founded in 1939, the Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NNRHA) is the primary provider of
new homebuyer opportunities and affordable housing for lower and moderate income families on the Virginia
peninsula. The NNRHA is the redevelopment arm for the City of Newport
News and acquires property for redevelopment, undertakes property rehabilitation
and manages the City's Consolidated Housing and Community Development
programs.

The mission of NNRHA is to maintain and create affordable housing, viable
neighborhoods, and opportunities for self-sufficiency that enhance the quality of life of
all citizens of Newport News. The Authority has established strong partnerships with
public and private organizations to provide an array of services to NNRHA clients and
the community.

Seven Commissioners serve as the governing body of NNRHA and are the foundation for
the Authority's actions and accomplishments. Each Commissioner must reside in
Newport News and is appointed by the Newport News City Council.

The Executive Director serves at their pleasure and through the work of four departments, Administrative Services;
Community Development; Finance; and Housing, meets the mission and goals of the organization.
